Classical KUSC's Brian Lauritzen talks with R. Stephen Doan, former grand master of Masons in California, about Mozart's "The Magic Flute" and the composer's intent for the piece to be a dramatic representation of a person's initiation into Freemasonry.

Highlights from The Magic Flute will be performed October 5-8, 2017, at Walt Disney Concert Hall by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and guest artists, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. Brian Lauritzen will appear live for a pre-concert "Inside the Music" talk on Friday, October 6. Tix: http://bit.ly/WD1718MozF1
